mate, not to be facetious but the lower abs are only seen at low body fat levels. lose the timber and then youll see em

btw it dont think its necessary or beneficial to train them everyday either. 2/3 times a week max imo

Buller is right,

You need to drop the bodyfat. I believe less than 10-8% is required for the definition to show through in that lower abdominal area. To make sure you are working the entire region however, I feel that reverse crunches on the bench and cable crunches are best for them as you get a full range of motion by really flexing the muscles. Make sure to consciously squeeze your abs on every single rep to make them count. Make it hurt

Remember that the abs are all one muscle group. If you want definition then do cardio and clean up the diet to lower the bodyfat %.

wow i love hoew everyone just assumed he cant see em do to fat. and didnt help him with his problem at all.

Try this if you wanted a routine at all for them.
Leg or knee raises 3 sets of 15-20
floor leg raises. 3 sets of 15-20 hold a pause just above the floor at theend of each set.
work either one of these into your routine and see what happens.

I train my abs medium-heavy when I do train them. I do hanging leg raises but weighted ones, if they have them in your gym its a strap thing you place on your feet/legs and you can attach a weight on it.

You might want to try that.

To add overall mass to the adominal area you will need some resistance just like any other muscle. When doing this only work the abs 2-3 times a week tops. If you have access to a full workout facility try bent over cable crunches or a machine crunch that you can add weight to. Follow this exercise up with hanging leg raises, do them slow and keep the form strict.
